Democrats Demand End of Trump Tax Cuts — or Else No Infrastructure Funding
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said Monday he would not support a national gas tax increase unless President Donald Trump is willing to repeal some of his administration’s tax cuts.
Ahead of a meeting with Trump on Tuesday on a potential infrastructure deal, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Schumer wrote a letter to Trump, saying that an infrastructure deal must be “comprehensive and include clean energy and resiliency priorities.”
Schumer and Pelosi said that the deal must “go beyond transportation and into broadband, water, energy, schools, housing and other initiatives. We must also invest in resiliency and risk mitigation of our current infrastructure to deal with climate change.”

Climate change is a scam.
They used to call it "global warming" but when that fell apart they changed the name to "climate change".

The tax cuts for the common man will expire if Trump doesn't get elected and renew them.
They want to make sure Trump doesn't get those votes.
Of course the Dems won't go after the tax cuts for the elite they and their own ilk are benefiting too much from them.

“We are definitely going to be coming out with a lot on taxes,” said Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.). “Right now, I’m not going to say anything until I have my own plan to speak about.”
